Saved His Life.

Mr.. d. !. Wilcoxson, of Horse Cave,
Ky, says he was for many years badly
afflicted with Phthisic, also Diabetes;

he positively believes he would have
died had it not been for the relief af-
foi ded by Electric Bitters. Sold at so

it's so, but because the fact exists.
Tie duty of selecting L. 5. Senator
is placed in the hands of the legisla-

congress represents the government
as against the people.
The bill for the establishment of
reformatory for youthful crimi-
nails has progressedrapidly through
the different stages of legislation
and will soon become a law. II is
much, needed, and will be one of
the very best bills of the present
session. Government and laws
really have but the one purpose
after. all,-the protection and i'm
provement Of society; and with a
perfect system of free schools and
a well-conducted refornatory, the
need of much other Legislation
will be greatly lessened. Gov.
Ross will approvethe bill, because

that he will hasten its establish

read the story of Dessie and her lover. It was
